before eating:
- brush with dish soap (ammonia lauryl sulfate) on a soft brush. this is a high ph solution and a surfactant that should be highly effective at killing bacteria and neutralizing acids, even if it doesn't have stuff like fluoride in it.
- use a medium toothbrush with a novamin & sodium fluoride solution on the face of the teeth. i can and should still brush hard away from the gums.
- drink a lot of water
this seems to create extremely clean feeling teeth, enough that i'm wondering if i shouldn't emulate it after eating.
after eating:
- should i use dish soap again?
- use a soft brush with a novamin & sodium fluoride solution. this is intended to brush food off, mostly.
- swoosh with baking soda to reduce the ph
- drink a lot of water
let's hope that at least kills anything living in there, first. then, i can figure out if i think i can undo any decay - and, like i say, there is one tooth that looks bad - or not.
no response from the dentist. i'll call tomorrow.
